Is the laundromat Ludwigsburg open on Sundays?
No. On Sundays and public holidays the laundromat at Stuttgarter Straße 54 is closed. It is open Monday to Saturday from 6 am to 10 pm, including Saturday evening.
Why is it closed on Sundays?
In Baden-Württemberg the Sunday and Public Holiday Act protects Sundays and statutory public holidays. So it's not just our laundromat that stays closed: other laundromats in Ludwigsburg, Stuttgart and Karlsruhe are usually shut on Sundays too. If you search for a “laundromat near me, open now” on a Sunday, you'll mostly find nothing around here.
The good news: on weekdays and Saturdays you have 16 hours a day. If you start at 6 am, your first load is washed and dried by about 7 am, and in the evening you can still do a complete wash and dry.
By the way, this applies to all 7 Wash&Go laundromats in Stuttgart, Ludwigsburg and Karlsruhe: closed on Sundays and public holidays, open from 6 am on the other six days. If you know us as the self-service laundry in Ludwigsburg, simply plan your laundry day one day earlier.
Saturday is the best substitute
If you want to do laundry at the weekend, plan for Saturday. The laundromat is open just as long as on weekdays. To make sure washing and drying are finished before 10 pm, plan your last load accordingly.
- Huge pile of laundry? Use several machines at the same time. 11 machines with 8 kg and 3 with 18 kg are ready.
- Fresh duvet for Sunday? Saturday in the XXL machine, then 40 to 50 minutes in the 20 kg dryer. Here's how
- Don't want to wait? Start the machine and do your weekend shopping in the meantime.
On Saturdays it's easy to combine laundry day with a trip into town: the Laundromat Ludwigsburg is next to the Friedenskirche on Karlsplatz, with the Residential Palace (Residenzschloss) right opposite. While the machine runs for about 35 minutes, you can pop to the bakery, browse the shops or do your weekly shop and be back in time for the dryer.
Fresh laundry on Sunday: how to make it work
If you need fresh laundry on Sunday, wash on Saturday or during the week until 10 pm. With a little planning you won't be missing anything on Sunday.
- Before work: We open at 6 am. One load is washed and dried in about an hour, here's exactly how long it takes.
- After work: On weekdays you have until 10 pm, even if you only get back from Stuttgart or Bietigheim-Bissingen in the evening.
- Everything at once: With 18 machines there's hardly any waiting. Colours, whites and towels run side by side instead of one after another.
- Big items first: Washing duvets takes the longest, so start the large washing machine first.

Watch out for long weekends
When public holidays fall around a weekend, the Laundromat Ludwigsburg is closed for several days in a row. So wash beforehand, or the laundry will pile up.
- Christmas 2026: 25 and 26 December fall on a Friday and Saturday. Together with the Sunday, the laundromat stays closed for three days, so wash before 25 December.
- Easter 2027: Good Friday (26 March) and Easter Monday (29 March) are closed, as is Easter Sunday. Only the Saturday in between, 27 March, is open.
- Whitsun 2027: Whit Sunday and Whit Monday (17 May) are closed. If you want to wash a sleeping bag or blankets after a trip, come on the Tuesday.
